Thank you...

...for your new page Grievances of the Declaration of Independence. A well written and needed page, and it fills a large hole in the encyclopedia that other editors haven't realized even existed. Nice work. Randy Kryn (talk) 00:44, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Grievances of the Declaration of Independence

The article Grievances of the Declaration of Independence has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fundamentally original research.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 00:53, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

This is certainly a good page and well sourced. I won't remove the tag because it is a seven-day tag and that allows more time for sources and refinements to be added. But essentially this seems a fine encyclopedic page, and please see my note above this notice as well. Randy Kryn (talk) 02:52, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

@Randy Kryn:Thanks Randy. I have made many additional cites and changes to the page. Unfortunately, I do not think that will be enough. Have a good week. Progressingamerica (talk) 02:21, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Kept. As it should have been. Nice work on the page to save it. Randy Kryn (talk) 19:06, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Ways to improve List of national emergencies in the United States

Hello, Progressingamerica,

Thanks for creating List of national emergencies in the United States! I edit here too, under the username Srich32977 and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:-

Suggest listing the particular President, and listing the legal authority upon which the President based the emergency

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Srich32977}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Speedy deletion nomination of Barnes vs. Roosevelt Libel Trial

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Barnes vs. Roosevelt Libel Trial requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://digitalcollections.smu.edu/cdm/singleitem/collection/bud/id/19/rec/1. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 15:05, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

@Diannaa: Hello, I apologize but I wanted to mention that I was under a mistaken assumption that text on Wikimedia for over two years was probably safe for use. I did not intentionally use the text from SMU.edu; however this same text has now been removed from Wikimedia to prevent further copyright issue. Thank you.

Close paraphrasing on The 1619 Project

You added the following sentence:

"Over the course of the transatlantic slave trade some 12.5 million Africans would be kidnapped from their homes and brought in chains across the Atlantic Ocean in the largest forced migration in human history."

The source contains the following sentence:

"They were among the 12.5 million Africans who would be kidnapped from their homes and brought in chains across the Atlantic Ocean in the largest forced migration in human history until the Second World War."

Please read Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing, it explains everything in detail, way better than I can. Is this the only article where this happened or are there more? If so, please tell me, so we can fix that. Poveglia (talk) 12:14, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

Important Notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution (2nd request)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from New Nationalism (Theodore Roosevelt) into Political positions of Theodore Roosevelt. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:28, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
